Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Please either remove the number shortcuts in the directional scan window, or atleast make them user settable.

Reason: Unfortunately someone decided that people like to wear out their mouse buttons spamming the scan button every 2 seconds 24/7. This not only causes a ton of extra, and wasted, server requests to the EVE server, but also, and more importantly, sets the focus on the DScan window. Then we have to hit the key combination to switch to one of our other characters. That key combination includes the number key. For me it is Ctrl+Alt+#. However that number key changes the filter on the DScan Window rendering it useless. So now, every 2 seconds, I have to spam not only the Scan button, but the number key to correct the filter setting.

So PLEASE give us some way to tell DScan that we DON'T want a shortcut to change the filter selection.

P.S. In the absence of disabling the DScan shortcuts, you could always just make the DScan window auto-update, the way it should to begin with. Then we would be MUCH happier, as would our poor mouse button. And the Eve server would get a ton fewer requests, since the server would be telling us when it needed to be updated, instead of it constantly telling us constantly that it didn't need to be updated. (The difference between polling versus interrupt driven.)

Whether we like it or not, CCP has built multiple characters into the game. As long as they are a part of the game, then asking for such minimal things to help them function correctly is a good thing.
